She knew since the beginning that oit would be hard to adapt her character for a sequel, I remember an interview with her last year saying that adding another data analyst would be a hard thing to do. After all, she wasn't bad in her character, what killed the hacker subplot was Glenn.

So that other Aussie actress that was previously linked to TF2 could be replacing Taylor as Maggie, or are they doing away with that character altogether?

Pretty sure they're doing away with her character all together. The other actress is getting different role I believe... though I have kept up much with that... aside from the fact that the new actress was apparently hand picked by Spielberg...

You know, hackers straight out of high school going to college at the same time as other high school kids in TF1 going to college? Absolutely right, she wouldn't fit into the new film AT ALL! Not that I wanted to see her back, but she'd fit better into the suggested plot for TF2 than she did in TF1. She already knows Sam, she's going to be in college, and there's every chance she'd have ties to whatever agency gets set up in the government to deal with the great alien menace that we can't allow anyone to know about.

I didn't like her character, but this is precisely the sort of grounding that could have been used to build on the mythos, instead of scraping and acting like it's an all new story for each film.
